Abstract 550: p53 rescue of tumor suppressor function with ADGN-531 causes tumor regression both as single agent and in combination with PARPi and KRASG12Cinhibitors

Abstract

Abstract The p53 tumor suppressor mutations resulting in loss of function control tumor proliferation in 50% of human cancers. TP53 missense and nonsense mutations are present in about 50% and 7-12% of the p53 driven cancer, respectively. To date there is no effective treatment for rescuing p53 function in cancers harboring p53 nonsense mutations. We have developed a new potent strategy combining mRNA with a tumor selective nanocarrier, to rescue of p53 tumor suppressor functions as potential therapeutic approach in cancers. ADGN-531 contains proprietary p53-mRNA complexed with proprietary short amphipathic peptides that form stable neutral nanoparticles. ADGN-531 was evaluated on 20 different cancer cell lines harboring different types of p53 mutations. In-vivo efficacy of IV-administered ADGN-531 nanoparticles (weekly, 0.5 & 1.0mg/kg) was evaluated on colorectal SW403 (p53 nonsense/KRASG12V), osteosarcoma SaOs2 (p53 null) and lung H358 (p53 null/KRASG12C) mouse xenografts. Sensitivity to Veliparib (PARPi) following ADGN-531 treatment was evaluated on PARPi resistant SUM-149PT and OVCAR-8 and PARPi sensitive MDA-MB436 cells. ADGN-531/AMG-510 synergy was evaluated on H358 and M-PACA cells and H358 mouse xenograft. ADGN-531 markedly delay the growth of a large panel of cancer cells harboring p53-missense or nonsense mutations, by rescuing p53 transcriptional activity and subsequent expression of its target proteins. ADGN-531 induces cell cycle arrest in G1 due to p21 upregulation and apoptosis following BAX and PUMA activation. ADGN-531 mediated p53 function rescue is directly correlated to the type of p53 mutation in the cancer cells. ADGN-531 induces 80% cell proliferation inhibition in p53 null/nonsense cells and 20 to 50% in p53 missense cells. IV-administration of ADGN-531 resulted in dose responsive tumor growth inhibition. ADGN-531 (1.0mg/kg) induces 40-60% tumor regression SaOs2, SW403 and H358 xenografted mouse model. We demonstrated a synergistic combination between ADGN-531/AMG-510 a KRASG12C inhibitor in human lung carcinoma. ADGN-531 (0.5mg/kg, weekly)/AMG-510 (10mg/kg, daily) induces about 80% tumor regression, higher than with either single agents. We demonstrated that ADGN-531 mediated p53 rescue markedly improves (200 fold) and restores the sensitivity of ovarian and breast cancer cells to Veliparib. ADGN-531 treatments are well tolerated, no sign of clinical toxicity or inflammatory response was detected after single or repeated administrations. ADGN-531 is effective in rescuing P53 functions both in vitro and in vivo. Our study provides a proof-of-concept that restoration of tumor suppressor function by ADGN-531 could be used as a single agent therapy or in combination together with other therapies for potent combinatorial cancer treatment.
